Breast cancer research: a multidimensional vision
Marina Pinto Carbó, a passion for public health, is immersed in a research project that connects health with social dynamics. Currently, Marina is about to complete her doctoral dissertation in Fisabio, where her research focuses on the impact of sedentary life on breast cancer, also examining the social and gender dimensions that influence this disease.
Lines of research: a comprehensive approach
His work is articulated around three fundamental axes: the determinants of cancer, the evaluation of the prevention programs and the search for health equity. Marina and her team not only seek to identify the factors that contribute to cancer, but also analyze the effectiveness of public health initiatives and inequalities that could exist in access to resources and services.
Sedentary life and breast cancer: a complex relationship
Navy’s thesis is called ‘Analysis of the relationship between sedentary lifestyle and breast cancer from a perspective of social and gender equity’. In his study, he investigates how physical inactivity can be related to an increase in breast cancer risk, taking into account factors such as educational level and family responsibilities that can affect life habits.
Health inequalities: revealing data
The preliminary results of his research are revealing. Women with less social resources show a higher tendency to physical inactivity, while those who take care of children are less likely to be sedentary. This phenomenon can be attributed to the pressure of managing multiple roles in their daily life, which include work and family responsibilities.
The impact of sedentary lifestyle on different educational levels
One of the most significant discoveries is that women who spend more than three hours a day are at a higher risk of breast cancer, which is mainly found in those with a lower educational level. These variations in physical behavior and their health consequences may be influenced by socioeconomic factors that modulate the lifestyle of women.
European projects: innovation and prevention
Marina also participates in European projects that address these issues from an innovative approach. One of these projects, Bumper, has the goal of developing a mobile application for cancer prevention, which includes recommendations based on the European Cancer Code. This tool seeks to empower women to adopt a healthy lifestyle, taking advantage of digital technologies and artificial intelligence.
The importance of nursing in research
As a nurse, Marina emphasizes the relevance of her profession in the world of research. Her holistic perspective on health is a valuable asset in interdisciplinary teams, and she encourages her colleagues to explore the possibilities offered by research in the field of nursing. His passion for research is evident, recognizing both the challenges and the rewards involved.
Final Reflections: A Future Promissor
With her thesis and projects underway, Marina Pinto is highlighting the interconnection between health, gender and society. Their efforts not only seek to better understand breast cancer, but also aspire to generate a positive change in women’s health. This research could have significant implications for the public health policy and the general well -being of society.
